My top 3 are all pretty competitive academic IM programs (auditioned at all 3, honors at all 3). Got an LoR from my number 1 program (which is probably why I got the IV) and had several attendings and residents vouch for me at my number 2 (which I know for a fact is why I got the IV).
The rest of my rank list is made up of mostly lower-mid tier academic programs and solid community programs. Just seems like a really dramatic drop off in quality of programs for me and I'm worried that my top programs were flukes or courtesy IVs. Anyone else feel this way?
If I'm being honest, I just needed someone to please ease my anxiety and give me stories of people matching to programs they thought were out of their league!!
235/245. Good LoRs. Graduate degree and 3+ pubs. Pretty compelling/memorable personal story, all interviews went well.
